The hallmark of Domaine Colombo's distinctive approach
- A wine of considerable character, displaying spiced and ripe fruit notes that define the house style. The 2017 vintage demonstrates the precision and restraint that characterise Jean-Luc Colombo's philosophy.
- Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this cuvée reflects years of refinement in the cellar. The élevage has produced a wine of notable structure and depth, neither overwrought nor timid.
- The bouquet reveals an appealing interplay of liquorice and mature stone fruits, with a suppleness that invites the glass to your lips. This is a wine of quiet confidence rather than ostentation.

In the mouth
The attack is generous and fleshy, with good mid-palate weight. The tannins are present but refined, providing structure without harshness. The finish is clean and persistent, with a return of liquorice and dark fruit.
On the nose
The nose opens with liquorice and ripe plum, followed by subtle white pepper and dried herbs. The aromatic profile is restrained and classical, speaking of careful winemaking rather than extraction.
On the eye
Ruby robe with violet tinges, clear and bright
Breeding
Aged 9 months in three-quarters stainless steel vats and one-quarter in oak barrels of one to four wines.
This wine pairs admirably with wood-grilled meats—lamb or beef prepared simply will allow its character to shine. It would also complement a robust cassoulet or game dishes. Drink now or cellar for five to eight years. Serve at 16–17°C to appreciate its balance fully.

DOMAINE JEAN-LUC COLOMBO
Planted on the steep granite slopes of Cornas in the Ardèche, Domaine Jean-Luc Colombo farms 6 hectares of Syrah under organic certification, with yields held firmly below 20 hl/ha. Founded in 1984 by Jean-Luc Colombo — a pivotal figure in the modernisation of the Cornas appellation — the estate produced its first vintage of Les Ruchets in 1987. Since 2010, Laure Colombo has led the winemaking, steering the estate through its conversion to organic farming, with full certification achieved in 2015. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the rigour of its work on granitic terroir, the precision of its Syrah, and the consistency of a demanding family approach. A benchmark for lovers of serious red wines from the Vallée du Rhône.
